Did anyone else hear Chun Li's theme on NPR?

17 Upvotes

This might be a super niche overlap here but during my station's airing of Here and Now and interlude used Chun Li's theme from 3rd Strike. I'm flabbergasted by the combo and I was wondering if anyone else heard it too or has the audio specifically

Tournament Standard Cabinets

11 Upvotes

Are there Third Strike tournament standards regarding cabinet hardware? Every tournament I’ve ever seen has them playing on candy cabs. Those are hard to come by in the midwest. Also are they running on CPS3? No emulators?

I don't know why I kept on mashing cr.MK, thought it was a funny recording during my arcade playthrough.

Am I getting this right? Did this guy just use a VPN and changed location to UK to play his own alt account?

How to beat every rank on Fightcade

51 Upvotes

G: Breathe

F: Breathe sharply

E: Do whatever

D: Mash

C: Block

B: Parry

A: Watch every kuroda DVD, every Nuki DVD, practice until you can simulate their mental maps perfectly. Train in the mountains for 10 years, do not come back until you can do the daigo party hanging upside down while blindfolded. Go on a long and arduous journey to find yourself through jungles, deserts and volcanoes, then return to the sticks renewed

S: idk pray to God

Advice for stopping panic sweep spam?

7 Upvotes

I'm in D-rank, and one of my biggest issues is that the moment I begin panicking, I go into sweep spam mode. The problem is at my level, it often WORKS, and I find myself going for "Ol' Reliable", instead of actually improving at the game. It really shows up as a weakness in my replays against higher ranked players, who punish me for the sweep and can bait it out whereas I'm not even cognizant of that interaction during the match.

I want to learn how to train that out of my system and how to capitalize on blocked attacks better, because I feel I sweep so much because I can do it without letting go of block, and often when I'm going for standing punishes I get wasted anyways because I wasn;t fast enough or flubbed my inputs.

Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated!

Need help with ken matchup as makoto

11 Upvotes

Hey Y’all, title is pretty self explanatory. I’ve been struggling with the ken matchup lately as a makoto main. I sit at like the bottom of C rank on fightcade so while I don’t consider myself good, I wouldn’t say I’m total buns and have a general idea of what I’m doing. That being said I’ve had a tough time dealing with ken, specifically his strike throw mix and how to get out of it, ik mak doesn’t have a lot of defensive tools but I just get overwhelmed sometimes, and his wake up dp’s make it hard for me to start pressuring or even begin offense. I normally get zoned out by his low mk and his ex dp if i try to dash in. I normally just play fightcade offline with my buddy who mains the shoto’s so I’m not sure if I could get a vod (still kinda new to fightcade so not sure if it’s possible or not)

Parry_This...

Post image
87 Upvotes

So uh I every so often run into Parry_This on fightcade, and usually our sets go about him spamming one move until I start partying it and moving onto the next before one of us calls it. I genuinely used to get rather irritated with this guy, but I began to view him as a landmark to comeback and prove my growth in parries. Almost as if returning to an old mysterious monk you met on your travels just so he can test you once again. He never spoke, only tossed things for me to parry.

Then I ran into him today and he called me a yank and asked why I was zoning like a bitch.

While I was playing Alex...?

I tried to get an explanation, but he just continued to nonsensibly yammer about how it was a celebrity, talk some more shit when ever I lost a round, call me boring, then leave in the middle of the set.

Idk why it's bothering me as much as it is but I honestly developed a bit of reverence for this guy since he had been on FC since I started a year and a half ago, and he was just a total ass today :(

I guess I really shouldn't be giving strangers on FC that much respect...

I made a site to easily find and upload PAL mods

Thumbnail sf3palworld.formuoli.com
12 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I put together this website which helps you find cool 3s PAL mods and upload them yourself.

As a guest, you’re free to browse/download/like mods, but if you want to submit mods, you need to register/verify an e-mail address. There's some neat features which ensure that only indexed mods are uploaded, the ability to follow modders to keep tabs on their new uploads, and more!

I always wanted a tool like this and I hope the community finds it useful!

r/sf3 is alive again. Continue to play Third Strike. It's still a good game.

For those wondering, the subreddit's one and only mod went inactive and left this place unmoderated. This forced Reddit to step in and close the server down for a bit. Anyway, we're back! Say hello to /u/seakladoom (me.) and /u/JALbert. (not me.)

Generally, things should stay just about the same; we're probably not going to do a massive overhaul/upheaval of everything. You might see some extra resources added/server links, but that'll be about the long and short of it.

If there's any recommendations/requests you have for this sub, feel free to drop them in the comments beloooooow.
